Peanut Butter Bears

1 cup Skippy® Creamy Peanut Butter
1 cup margarine, softened
1 cup packed brown sugar
2/3 cup Karo® corn syrup
2 eggs
4 cups flour, divided
1 tbsp. baking powder
1 tsp. cinnamon
¼ tsp. salt

In large bowl, beat peanut butter, margarine, brown sugar, corn syrup and eggs until smooth. Add 2 cups of flour, baking powder, cinnamon and salt. With spoon, stirring remaining flour. Wrap dough I plastic wrap; refrigerate 2 hours.

Divide dough in half; set aside half. On floured surface, roll out dough to 1/8” thickness. Cut with floured bear cookie cutter. Repeat with remaining dough.

Bake on ungreased cookie sheets at 325° for 10 minutes or until lightly
browned. Remove from cookie sheets; cool completely o wire racks.
Decorate as desired.

About 3 dozen bears

NOTE: Use dough scraps to make bears faces. Make one small ball of dough for muzzle. Form 3 smaller balls of dough and press gently to create eyes
and nose; bake as directed. If desired, use frosting to create paws, ears
and bow ties.
